About
Hello, I’m Christopher Barfield, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’ve spent the better part of my life immersed in the flashing lights and unpredictable thrills of the casino world. From a young age, I was captivated by the allure of the unknown, the rush of risk, and the art of the game. But my journey wasn’t just about playing cards or spinning wheels; it was about understanding the intricate dance between luck and strategy, a dance that I now share with my readers as a casino blogger.
I grew up in a small town with not much more than a corner store and a whole lot of dreams. My first encounter with casinos was through movies—James Bond at the baccarat table, high rollers in glitzy Vegas lounges, and the magnetic pull of the casino floor. It wasn’t just the money that fascinated me; it was the stories, the people, and the games that drew me in. My first real step into a casino was during a family trip to Atlantic City when I was just 21. I was instantly hooked—not to the gambling itself, but to the atmosphere, the psychology, and the community of players from all walks of life.
After college, where I dabbled in everything from journalism to marketing, I found myself working a regular 9-to-5. But the monotony of the corporate world never quite fit my personality. I needed excitement, something to fuel my curiosity and allow me to connect with people on a more dynamic level. So, I started writing. At first, it was just for fun—reviews of local casinos, tips on blackjack strategies, and personal anecdotes from the tables. But as I poured more of my passion into my writing, I realized there was a growing audience eager for insights and stories from someone who lived and breathed the casino life.
Starting my blog was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I combined my love for storytelling with my casino expertise, offering everything from game guides to honest reviews of online casinos. I wanted to demystify the world of gambling, making it accessible to newcomers while providing seasoned players with a fresh perspective. My blog took off faster than I’d ever expected, and soon, I was traveling to casinos around the world, interviewing industry insiders, and even trying my hand at some high-stakes tournaments. I wasn’t just writing; I was living the stories I shared.
Today, my blog is more than just a job—it’s my way of connecting with a community that shares my love for the game. I believe in playing smart, staying informed, and most importantly, having fun. Through my writing, I aim to share the highs and lows of the casino world, the strategies that work, and the lessons learned from a lifetime of playing the odds.
When I’m not blogging, you’ll likely find me at a poker table, exploring the latest online casino trends, or simply enjoying a good cigar with friends. My journey has taught me that life, much like a game of blackjack, is all about taking calculated risks and knowing when to stand or hit.
I’m Christopher Barfield, a casino enthusiast, storyteller, and lifelong student of the game. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s that the real jackpot isn’t just about the wins—it’s about the adventure, the people you meet, and the stories you get to tell.
